OCHA Field activities, Burkina Faso

About this project

Even before the pandemic began, 2020 was on track to be the most difficult year of the past decade for Burkina Faso. A succession of shocks linked to conflict and insecurity had driven more than 1 million people from their homes since early 2019. And for the first time in 10 years, the country saw the re-emergence of critical food insecurity conditions in two provinces of the Sahel region. Office for the Coordination on Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) gradually increased its capacity to support collective priorities for humanitarian coordination at the national and regional levels, securing dedicated capacity to provide leadership on humanitarian civil-military coordination, community engagement, Accountability to Affected People, Information Management and analysis, and protection from sexual exploitation and abuse (PSEA).
